Dodge looking for answers
Kurt Busch was the highest finishing Dodge in the California Speedway NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race. He came in seventh. Ahead of him were a sea of Chevrolets and a couple Fords.
He said on a scale of one to 10, he'd rate his team's Dodges at about a five after two races.
"We ran 11th or 12th most of the day. We got seventh and that's what it takes to rebuild and get your points built back up, especially with all the questions now about how the Dodge is going to work and then with the Car of Tomorrow in a few weeks," said Busch, driver of the No. 2 Dodge for Penske Racing South. "We feel good about the team. Everybody is slapping high fives. We finished seventh, and we'll slap high fives when we win and finish second as well."
Busch said Dodge has done a lot of work in the offseason to improve the aerodynamic package of its cars. He's happy with the progress, but said his team needs to work to make the chassis a little better.
"We wanted to do what we could with building power and reliability," Busch said. "And this is probably the best power we've seen out of Penske/Jasper even with the unleaded. I feel like we've got the upper hand there, and now if we get the chassis and aero to match it, look out."
